About Those
K K K Queries
In ar effort to discredit the
Ku Klux Klan with the readers
In its reaim mesmerizer of the
o-called Johnston County Free
Press copies three queried that
ere presumed to come from a
Klan paper and then garbles
their meaning The queries as
given by mesmerizer are:
Do Jou go out of your way
a’l things being equal to pat-
ronize a klansman in business?
Do you live up to your obli-
gation and talk no evil of your
brother klansmen?'
Do you have proper re-
spect toward a klansman’
wife daughter sister or moth-
er?” Mesmerizer says cf the first
query "The klansman is urged
to bojcbtt the arti-merchant”
That is an evasion of the ruth
head the query carefully and
you will see it Note that it says
“all things being equal” The
boycott has been declared illegal
Klansmen are obligated to abide
by the law The Klan does not
1 he third proposition reaped
for Klansmen' wife daughter
ister or mother is lixe the one
above mentioned a right con-
ception f daty It i possible
that mesrueriz-r places the right
construction upon this query as
regard those of his iort but
that is net a Klansman’ vieas
True the query is directly ap-
plied to Klansmen but a true
Klansma dots not draw the line
at the door of hi kiavern His
obligation biuds him to as much
respect for womankind in gen-
eral as it doe for his own kith
and kin Klan activities have
shown that they carry out their
obligation in this respect
It is just such misrepresenta-
tion and poison dope that mes-
meriser uses that causes so much
ill feeling among the people to
waru the Klan Some men are
living at such low level that they
cannot catch a ray of the sun-
light of truth Lik- the hog

January Weather
In Los Angeles
Mrs II J Smith who is now
in Los Angeles Calif sends us
a copy of the Los Angeles Ex-
press of January 6 which tells
this weather story :
With Old Sol beaming brightly
the rhercury soared upward to
79 Pfgreea yesterday Angelenos
shed their overcoats and perused
new report of below zero weather
sweeping the Middle Weal hand in
hand with frigid blizzards
Although the 'weather man ad-
mitted that yesterday’ tampers
ture was aomewhat “unusual” he
called attention to last year’ tarn-
perature for the same day when 90
degrees toppej the thermometer
readings
Testerday he said was just five
degrees warmer than Friday al-
though the brightness of the sun
helped to send beads of perspira-
tion trickling down the faces of
pedestrians who indulged in the
favorite Saturday afternoon pastime
af dodging Broadway traffic
Today the weather prcgnostica-
tor ventured to prognosticate al-o
probably will be warm with cle r
akiea bright run and balmy breezra

boycott Trueit may be that
Klansmen may choose to patron-
ize Klansmen which is their
privilege but the organization
does not in any way require its
members to restrict its patron
age to Klansmen Bised on
American principles Klansmen
are left free to act commercially
religiously or politically
But what Is the “anti” record
on this lin? But a short time
ago Mesmerizer urged his read
ers to “boycott all merchants
who did not advertise with him”
That was a purely selfish propo-
sition Again we know for
fact that in the local anti-k!an
organization hereilin their se-
cret meetings (walls have ears
sometimes) its members have
been urged to boycott all klan
merchants or their friends and
rade only with anti merchants
Vhat’s sauce for the goose 6ught

'urther than that they have
gone so far as to hav bread
brought here from an outside
bakery to sell to their adherents
to break down the trade of our
local bakery because its propri-
etor is supposed to be in sy o
tathy with the principles of the
Klan but who is not a member!
of the organization Anti spiel-
ers have openly made war upon
all merchants and busintss men
who are not lined up with th i
regardless of whether they are1
Klansmen or not We defy mes
merizer to cite us to a Kla
organization or a single Klans-lp
man who has ever even hinted1
at a boycott of any anti-Han
merchant Clean up in your own

with the highest type of real
manhood not only in a Plans-
man but in citizenship in gen-
eral and is expected of the
membership of every fraternal
organization unless perchance
it may be the anti-klan We
